Where we are

Ogliastra, on the eastern coast of Sardinia

Ogliastra lies in the heart of Sardinia's eastern coast, between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the mountains of the Supramonte. It is one of the five Blue Zones recognised worldwide: a compact territory of 23 municipalities and a few tens of thousands of inhabitants.

Why Blue Zone

One of the five longest-living areas in the world

Ogliastra was the first Blue Zone identified in the world: an area with an exceptionally high share of centenarians. Food, daily movement, a slower pace and strong community ties are not a marketing claim here — they are ordinary village life.

  • Local food
  • Daily movement
  • Slow pace
  • Community and family
